318-Based Project by Johnson's HorsePowered Garage

Twin-Turbo 318 V-8 Dodge D150 Street Truck​

I ran across this yesterday and was amazed with what I found in the article. It's certainly not A or B-body or even car related but I found the small block performance results amazing and thought others here would too. I'm really interested in reading the details of the engine build when they're available. This truck runs 8.80s at nearly 150 mph with only a single turbo!

If this has already been posted on the forum, my apologies.

I had the same thought on the interior. All-red would possibly have been better than the blue-red mix, especially since the interior blue doesn't seem to match up with the exterior blue. Maybe it's just the lighting and the differences that happen when looking at pictures on computers, phones, etc.

The truck referenced in the article that went the 8.80’s is Morgan Evans hurricane 6 powered 87.
Not the 318 powered truck in the pics.

I’m really not a fan of the interior.
The exterior looks good though.

Thanks for clarifying. I missed that in my quick read of the article.
